Abstract :
A 6-18 GHz transfer switch is fabricated by a batch process technology, the HMIC (Heterolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) process, and uses shunt-only silicon diodes. The switch emulates a commensurate-line bandpass filter and has insertion loss less than 2.0 dB with greater than 32 dB isolation and CW power handling in excess of 6 Watts.<>
